This pops up all the time. Yes, Asheville is in a valley. Yes, it gets downsloped. Yes, it can get less snow at times because of this factors. Yes, it generally doesn't do as well in NW flow snow. Yes, surrounding mountain locations can and do get more snow. Yes, this particular season, it has snowed more in Greensboro, Wilmington, etc. Yes, we get screwed more than our fair share. But, we are not Columbia, SC. We have just had bad luck lately and are in a snow drought. Compare the data below with any non mountain city in the state and see if you can find a city that is close to these numbers. Snow climate has changed everywhere recently, not just in Asheville. 2022 was the last big snow here. It ranked 18th in recorded Asheville snowstorms. 18 10.4 15-Jan 17-Jan 2022 Asheville has 21 snow events that exceeded 10 inches. 7 of these have been 2010 and beyond. chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://www.weather.gov/media/gsp/Climate/AVL/newAVLheaviestsnows.pdf Asheville has had 71 seasons, dating back to 1869 that have been double digit seasons or more. 28 of these have been 20 inch seasons or more. 7 have been 30 inch seasons or more. chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://www.weather.gov/media/gsp/Climate/AVL/newAVLmonthlySNobs_htm.pdf Asheville seasonal snowfall average is greater than anywhere else in the state with the exception of higher Central Mountain locations and the Northern mountains. (these averages are most likely high because of the snow drought. I'm sure they have dropped, but the point remains the same)

It's your thread too Don!! You are always one of us!!!!

Looks like snowballs falling from the sky!

I hadn't even looked until I saw this. Definitely light snow falling !!

You should look harder! I'm sure there is some tweaking. Snow... not yet.

Great! I hope it starts snowing hard for you. Your elevation will definitely help.

Nice, Don!!! Hammer time. I love it!! Get some pics.

I haven't seen one single flurry in the light of day. That must have been snow blowing off my roof in front of the camera. Sorry for the false report.

Dropped down to 7.7 last night, easily my lowest of the year. Back up to 11.5. Not sure if we can will that moisture to get through the dry air, but it's closer than it looked like it would be. Edited to add: I have snow flurries showing up in my cameras. They overcame the dry air easily. Usually, it takes forever for the moisture to start falling. Maybe a mini surprise today?

That is awesome! Very cool.

I camped out for a lot of games, but NOT that one.

I was at NC State at the time. I was parking at the fringe lot. I had already walked a long way. Some lady's battery died and she needed a jump. I felt like I was literally going to freeze to death out there. I briefly hated her, but I got over it, lol.

Good luck, Don!! I hope you get a record!!!

My snow covered road.

Thanks Met!

I just took my wife to work. Crazy the difference depending on where you are. Solid snow covered roads in my neighborhood. For once, I was on the receiving end of the NW flow instead of the shut out end.

Definitely!

About an inch here. A nice blanket of snow, especially when the forecast was for absolutely nothing.

Roads are awful in Candler out Sardis Rd, Brevard Rd, Leicester Hwy. Snow and ice covered.

I saw someone on Facebook saying 240 through the cut was slick. Of course, that's Facebook, so take that with a grain of salt. Be careful!!

Surprisingly, snowing pretty good here in Candler. Already have a dusting. That may be all I get, but that is more than I expected.

I'll take neither and like it, lol. But seriously, I've not given up on mid-week yet.

It is going to be a magical week for you guys!!! NW flow is not in doubt.

Good call. Plenty of time for improvement!

It's getting close. Well, at least on the GFS. Here's to some good trends today for all of us. If it makes it to me, you guys are golden.
